Gears of the Beast Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 1. Fallout 32. Fallout: New VegasAll the other games are negligible in comparison. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 GTA IVMass Effect 2Mass Effect 3Bioshock InfiniteFallout: New VegasI've yet to finish Infinite, though. I've heard a lot of good things about the ending, so it's probably gonna go up at least one place when I'm actually done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilKing Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 So because GTA 5 seems to be a swan song for the current generation of consoles, I thought maybe it's time for some top 3/5/whatever lists of this generation. Here's mine (I didn't play the Xbox that much)1. Last of Us - also the best looking console game of this generation (in my opinion)2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - even though I'm a grown man I fucking loved this game3. Red Dead Redemption4. Bioshock 15. Call of Duty 4 :DEdit: 6. Can't believe I forgot Uncharted 2Not in any order:Red Dead RedemptionBattlefield: Bad CompanyBorderlands 2Dark SoulsFallout: New VegasToo early to judge GTA V but early indications are that it would make the list.

Fez Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not in any order, my top 5 would be:Bioshock Infinite, Dishonored, Fallout: New Vegas , Mass Effect 2, Portal 2And my honorable mentions, again not in any order, would be:Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Saints Row 3, Tomb Raider (2013), XCOM: Enemy UnknownAnd the games that I really wanted to include on the list, but just couldn't because they aren't as good (but are still really good):Dues Ex: Human Revolution, Fallout 3, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Saints Row 4So I guess that works out to 3 tiers of a Top 15 list.Other games that I'm really glad I played include:Assassin's Creed II, Crysis 2, Diablo 3, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age II, Europa Univeralis III, Far Cry 3, Saints Row 2. Tropico 4Games that were alright:Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Bioshock, Borderlands, Bulletstorm, Civilization V, Crackdown, Dynasty Warriors 7, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, Halo 3, LA Noire, GTA IV, Magic 2014, Mass Effect 1, MLB2k11 & Madden 2010Games that weren't that good but that I still beat:Assassins Creed Revelations, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Dante's Inferno, The SaboteurGames that weren't horrible but that I just got too bored with to ever beat (some of which started off really strongly):Darkstar One, Dragon's Dogma, Divinity II, Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdoms of Amalaur, Max Payne 3, Overlord 2, Prey, Tales of Vesperia, The Witcher 2Games that I stopped playing because I actively disliked them:Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dark Souls, Halo Wars, NierGames that I got stuck in:Battlefield 2, Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Rayman Origins, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Space MarineGames that glitched out on me:Darksiders, Dark Void, Fable II, StrongholdETA: A few games I forgot, also formatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Looks like most posters here rank Infinite way above the original BioShock...was the first BioShock not that great? I remember it being amazing (especially the story), but it could just be nostalgia because that was my first Xbox 360 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 cause its a superior sequel dude. Same reason why ME2 is above ME1Fair enough, it probably is. I just thought the original was the greatest thing ever because it was my first next-gen (console) game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Looks like most posters here rank Infinite way above the original BioShock...was the first BioShock not that great? I remember it being amazing (especially the story), but it could just be nostalgia because that was my first Xbox 360 game.I have three main issues with BioShock: the first is on me, which is that I was spoiled about everything before I played it, which lessened the story's impact. The other two are that the combat was not very fun and that there was something very off about the lighting. It is one of the only games I've ever played that I couldn't keep going for more than 20-30 minutes without getting a blazing headache.By contrast, Infinite was completely unspoiled for me (I also think it had a better story, and I really liked the constant interaction between Booker and Elizabeth), had a mundane but competent combat system (the controls are roughly the same as in Bioshock, but everything feels smoother and more polished), and didn't have that lighting issue (which I've really never encountered before, and I've played games with very low lighting).
